Ap Architects

We've been here in Bangalore 560001 for a while now. It's just a small group of us at Ap Architects working on drawings and site plans. Most days are spent looking at blueprints or talking to contractors about how things are actually going to get built. We don't have a fancy lobby or anything like that. It’s just desks, a few computers, and a lot of paper everywhere. Sometimes the tea guy comes by and that's the highlight of the afternoon. We take on different types of projects, some big and some just small renovations for houses around the neighborhood. It gets busy, especially when deadlines are close, but we try to keep things moving. We usually just stick to what we know and try to make sure the measurements are right. If you walk past our place, you might see us hunched over screens or arguing about where a wall should go. It isn't always glamorous work. There is a lot of back and forth with permits and paperwork that takes forever. The building we are in is older, so the stairs creak a bit when you come up. We don't mind it much. It's just part of the character of working in this part of town. We usually have a radio playing somewhere in the back to keep things from being too quiet while we work. It's just a job, but we've been doing it a long time and we’re used to it.
